Kodiak Canvas 10x10 Flex-Bow Canvas Tent Deluxe

I think this one of the best tents out there for car camping. Its most significant downsides - it’s weight and packed size - are directly related to what makes great, which is its durability and roominess. Even though it's not perfect - no tent is - I'm giving it five stars because it does everything I want it to do. Setup: Putting the tent up is simple but takes some muscle because the tent and poles are so heavy. The tent rolls out and should be staked down first. Then, the roof rods are put… Full review

Hilleberg Kaitum 4

The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 is a two-door, two-vestibule, four-person, four-season tent that comes in at a more than respectable 8 lbs 10 oz (that’s a lot of numbers) designed to maximize roominess while minimizing weight. The best part is that is manages to do both, without sacrificing weather proofing or durability. I’ve been unable to find any flaws with the Kaitum and have no doubt this tent will last through years of the hardest abuse. SETUP Even when setting up the tent alone it can be done… Full review

Cabela's XPG Ultralight 3P

Solid midweight tent for three. Moderately light for a three-person. Very roomy for two people, a little tight for three. Comes with everything you need—seam sealer, patches, footprint... 4 lbs 9 oz without the footprint. 5lbs 3 oz with footprint. Great DAC poles and stakes. Easy to set up, except for staking, which I only do all when needed! Breathes pretty well, some condensation inside, but it stays on the walls unless you brush up against them. Full review

REI Geo Mountain 4

I have owned my Geo Mountain tent for over twenty years. Yes, with four adult men it's somewhat tight regarding space. The number of pockets is fine. My number one activity is snow camping. Having all four people facing the same way will cause you to wake up with water drops falling on your head. Air circulation is fine when two of the campmates have their feet at the door and the other two have their feet in the opposite direction. When my children were young I carried the tent by myself on my… Full review

Sierra Designs Convert 2

Amazing all-around tent for three-season and four-season backpacking. I love this tent! I was in the market for a four-season tent, but I do a lot of backpacking and wanted something of a decent weight. Any four-season tent that is light, is single-walled and has poor ventilation (what I found in my research). The Convert allows me to have a four-season tent, light enough for packing, and still usable during the summer too. I've used this tent around the world in different rainstorms, snowstorms,… Full review

MSR Stormking

Beware of 'Unplanned Obsolescence'. Consider alternatives to PU-coated mountain tents. Flysheet horror show. We loved our Stormking tent when we used it for a week on the Isle of Arran. When we took it out of storage this week, for a winter camp in the Cuillin, we were shocked to find that the flysheet had deteriorated: the seam-tape was crumbling off and the PU coating was sticking to our hands. We contacted MSR, who told us to go away and chemically remove the PU and reseal the seams ourselves! Full review

Macpac Minaret

A four-season, plus two you never knew existed, tent. Absolutely bomb proof design, but a trifle on the small side for two. My son who works in Fiordland, NZ, has owned one for a number of years and this tent has never let him down winter or summer. It is heavy at just short of 6 lbs, but the weight is worth it when the going gets really tough. On a trip out to Pysegur there were force 12 hurricane winds and torrential rain, a little inland and in a more sheltered site we spent two days tent bound. Full review

Macpac Minaret

The standard by which other tents could be judged. Capable of keeping you dry and sheltered in gale force winds and torrential rain—this, after all, is what a four-season tent is all about. The first Minaret I ever used was loaned to me by a good friend for a trip into the central North Island sub alpine country in summer. That was over fifteen years ago. This version was over 10 years old and was pretty faded but it still did a good job. A few years later I purchased another one secondhand that… Full review

The North Face Oval-25

What a great tent, but not much information or any reviews but one or two. I picked this old bird up from a local Salvation Army for $5. It was a mess from poor storage and high mileage. After giving it a bath and removing the duct tape from the hole in the fly and screen I sewed the screen and patched the fly hole. Rear door zipper was knackered and separating while zipping up, so the previous owner decided to sew all the way around the door to the tent body. This is an easy fix after taking all… Full review
